pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

Technically speaking, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is not a real word, but a fusion of multiple Latin terms. It is a synonym of silicosis. Silicosis is an interstitial lung disease caused by breathing in tiny bits of silica, a common mineral found in many types of rock and soil. Over time, exposure to silica particles causes permanent lung scarring, called pulmonary fibrosis… that’s got to hurt.

Person one: “Doctor, I have confirmed and I diagnose this patient with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.”

Person two: “do you conquer Dr. Winsheston?”

Person 3: “Aye, I myself have seen the symptoms and MRIs. It’s definitely Silicosis, maybe even the variant: silicoproteinosis.”
